Kyler Murray: Cardinals too inconsistent in 2020

The Arizona Cardinals' 2020 season began with much promise, and it ended in disappointment.

The Cardinals notched a thrilling prime-time win over the Seattle Seahawks to improve to 5-2 in October, then moved to 6-3 thanks to the "Hail Murray" against the Buffalo Bills.

However, Arizona lost five of its last seven games before missing the playoffs.

"It was like, you just didn't know which team you were getting," quarterback Kyler Murray said Monday on "The Pat McAfee Show," according to Cardinals staff writer Darren Urban.

"That comes to us being inconsistent," he added. "For me, it starts with the little things, and I have said it before, organizations that win, they do everything right. They do everything the right way. Attention to detail, the small things."

A shoulder injury in the second half of the season slowed Murray, and he entered a pivotal Week 17 win-and-you're-in game with a leg issue. But he's not making any excuses for how his second pro campaign ended.

"We started off pretty hot and we took a kind of a disappointing turn, ended up not making the playoffs, which was very disappointing," he said. "I expect it to be a lot better in Year 3."
